Paint on your face
Following on from last week's theme of getting to know each other names this week we've worked with getting to know everyone's faces. First we warmed up with a couple of games focusing on looking at each other; we played a mirror game where everyone had to copy the actions of one person. Actions started with a simple reflected wave of the hand but within five minutes we became a synchronised bunch of dancing monkeys. After we had demonstrated the game we asked for a volunteer and one young boy thought it would be a great idea to have everyone doing 20 pressups. We also held a 'no blinking' competition, with the children showing tremendous ability. Even when we tried to cheat by pulling faces or making ourselves cross eyed the kids came out on top.
We ran a series of drawing activities using black and white photographs of the children. We started by giving the children one photograph of one side of their face and they had to complete the picture by drawing the other side. The children also made funny faces by folding their photographs to create a new face and changed their face by painting on hats, glasses, wild hair or beards
-some kids didn't restrict themselves to use just paper…
